Norfolk County Premises Liability Lawyer

Attorney Seeking Just Compensation On Your Behalf

A premises liability claim asserts that a private or public property owner
failed to provide a reasonably safe place for guests, visitors, and/or
customers. Furthermore, these types of claims must show that the property
owner knew of or should have known of the dangerous condition, but did
nothing to correct it in a reasonable amount of time. From skipped sidewalk
repairs to ignorance of standard safety procedures, dangerous conditions
can cause injuries if property owners do not act responsibly.

The Law Offices of James F. White has represented numerous injured individuals
throughout Norfolk County. With more than 30 years of experience, we are
well-equipped to handle all types of premises liability claims, including
slip and falls.

Property Owners Are Obligated to Maintain a Safe Environment

Both public and private property owners are required to maintain reasonably
safe conditions on their property. Though many injured victims are hesitant
to file these types of claims, property owners should be held accountable
for their negligence. In fact, making sure a property owner fixes a dangerous
situation can prevent others from getting injured in the future.

In order to pursue compensation for an injury that occurred due to unsafe
conditions on someone else's property, you must show that:

Whoever caused your injury (directly or indirectly) is responsible for
the property. A person does not have to own the property to be responsible
for it. Managers and operators are also considered responsible for maintenance
of a safe property.

The person responsible for your injury was negligent in their maintenance
of the property, either through ignorance of safety regulations, leaving
items out to block pathways, failing to repair or update equipment, or
not posting proper warning signs.

You were injured as a result of the responsible party's negligence. The
court will likely want to review your medical records, take account of
the circumstances and your health, and know about any follow-up treatments
you had as a result of your injury.

As long as you were not trespassing on the property, you typically have
the right to file a premises liability claim in the event of an injury.
